Some of them even list it at number one. Is it really that good? I've never heard the whole thing. <br /> K: Yeah, it's pretty awesome. I don't know if it's the best album of the decade, but I really loved that album when it came out. <br /> me: Maybe you had to be there or something. When that album came out, I was listening to Art Garfunkel solo albums. http://deadlanguageblog.tumblr.com/post/248639733http://deadlanguageblog.tumblr.com/post/248639733Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:53:00 -0500<p><a href="http://deadlanguagerecords.com/dlr0010.html">…Passagreen</a> was sort of a collection of demos….</p> <p>Either way, there’s some music coming soon.</p>http://deadlanguageblog.tumblr.com/post/247513189http://deadlanguageblog.tumblr.com/post/247513189Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:03:58 -0500<p>Going through my hard drive these past few days, I’ve noticed how much unreleased music I have. Some of it’s pretty good (if I do say so myself) and some of it’s just weird. Either way, I’m thinking about a rather lengthy <a href="http://mercychoir.com">Mercy Choir</a> b-sides collection. That way I can purge and start concentrating on the next album, which I am starting to write.
